A Christmas eve encounter in a deserted church brings the promise of immortality to an unlikely visitor.
Christmas in Idaho is an inspirational story for adult readers that the whole family will love.
Enjoy the sights, sounds, and wonder of Christmas alongside Idaho, a snowman who is experiencing Christmas for the first time….. just as he discovers that time is running out.
Explore the role that time plays in our perception of the physical world and in the Christian promise of immortality.
Christmas in Idaho is a beautifully designed and lavishly illustrated book — a wonderful gift and keepsake.
Christmas in Idaho is a gorgeous, keepsake-type book that contains a lovely story about a snowman's experience with Christmas. It comes with an audio CD where the narration is supplemented by background music and sound effects. It's a story for the whole family, though adults will certainly have to explain some things to children. And it's all quite lovely.
The story is about Idaho, a snowman made by two children on Christmas Eve. It follows Idaho as he encounters joy and sorrow, life and death, and the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
The book is enjoyable all on its own, but when coupled with the narration CD, it's outstanding. I absolutely loved listening to the story, and I got chills at the point when Idaho encounters Jesus. The music is perfectly matched to the story and really adds to the listening experience. I could see the whole family gathering to read/listen becoming a cherished Christmas tradition! 4 stars.
